ALERT FOR ALL PLANT LOVERS!! The middle of June to the end of the month is a great time to keep an eye on the prices for lots of landscaping plants...they drop like a rock....starting NOW! Today we made a trip to the nearest store that carries flipflops for a little boy who decided he desperately needed flipflops RIGHT NOW. The forelorn landscaping plants were scattered about. 50% off. I was just thinking I needed a couple more hydrangeas. NEEDED Honey....I NEEDED them.

And see! They were 50% off for a big ole jug of hydrangea.

They need love...but as you can see they're ready to shoot like crazy.

And they are the BLUE ones! Okay, I acknowledge they probably won't turn blue...I hear that's pretty tricky. I'll give it the ole college try.

This is part of our north yard....I've added all these things since we've moved in. Hostas REALLY like the north side. I REALLY like them.....they REALLY like me. ;-) i.e....I plant them, forget they exist, they grow huge. They are my kinda plants.

My little hydrangea loverlies will go there and there....and hopefully grow huge and block out all those weeds I don't want to pull. ;-)

i think as long as you're buying perennials, you're good to go on any clearance plants. the veggies plants at my acme look SAD sad sad, yet they still have them for sale at the full price. poor things. hope your hydrangea flourish over there!

I've never been so friggin excited about a blog post on plants. I did a Jen and dug up some ugly bushes while John was at work last week. Normally the outdoor stuff is his arena but I got tired of waiting. But anyway, we need to hurry up and plant some stuff and I never realized it but hydrangeas are totally my fave. And I'm REALLY hoping can find some for cheap. And now that I know how to make them blue, I am set. Your blog made my night.
